    Thank you very much for the kind words. I am ashamed to say I did not intend to make this a dead is dead character! But it does fit in so well. What is funny is I was playing normally (not intensely or paying much attention) on Master and I have not died once. This build really is a wrecking train on everything, and I just thought it was so refreshing to be an old fogey smashing things to bits! I have another two handed build in the works and will test it out after I post my current character. I have too much time on my hands... Thanks again! Means a lot coming from a legendary build creator such as yourself! (Make that almost legendary times 3!)

    This is a pretty cool build isn't it?

    Speaking of which, it looks like I haven't endorsed it yet. What an oversight...

    Haha! When I did on my playthrough of this character, it was a sad encounter. Both of us looking for a good death. On Master, he can be a bit tough, but he was no match for my warhammer. I cleanly smashed his head right off his shoulders. Good death indeed!

    I'm using a mod called Morrowloot which removes all items of Dwemer quality and up from the leveled lists and adds them back as static items in the game world (like Morrowind).  As a result getting an enchanted item of said quality is extremely rare and only really available via quest rewards.  Also even finding a piece of Daedric (Only 1 set in the game) is damn near impossible.  Anyway I happen to know that the Old Orc carries the only ebony battleaxe in the game, besides Ulfric's.  I'm gonna need that axe...

    I like the idea, but this build to me isn't practical without healing.  Fighting a dragon all alone on master is pretty much instant death without healing. 

    No thanks.

    Not to call ya out, but if you have problems with dragons using heavy armor, enchanting, and war hammers on master, then ya ain't doin' it right...

    Sorry you are not a fan.

    That's the whole point of the build, to find an opponent that's good enough to kill you.

    I am really enjoying the "Old Orc" following your recommendations etc..No healing etc except from pots.

    One quick question regards ranged attacks how many perks do you put in the Archery tree. having to keep diving for cover with dragons swooping around,singed old backside on the old orc a few times!!! (Deadly Dragons mod)

    loving the playstyle though

    Well I am on 360, so any mods to make the game harder or more interesting are things I do not have to worry about. If you want to put archery into the build, fine, but it ruins the feel of an Orc only using his starting bonus skills.
